t only takes one TikTok trend to change your entire packing list. Someone shares a mini haul or adds a few must-haves, and suddenly you're rethinking your eye mask, charger and even your luggage scale. That’s how fast social media turns casual scrolls into travel prep, and this year, the feed is packed with trending travel products.

If you're flying internationally into or out of Australia via Melbourne Airport, there's a smarter way to shop what’s showing up in your feed. Laneway, Melbourne Airport’s online duty free platform, lets you pre-order crowd favourites before your trip and pick them up when you land or take off. But which duty free finds are actually worth adding to your cart?

TikTok’s beauty feed is full of makeup that looks good on the go. From travel-ready kits to trending products in travel-size formats, creators are showing exactly what they pack and how. The result? Your makeup bag ends up looking more like a curated feed than a last-minute grab.

If you're flying soon, these are the duty free makeup finds turning up in GRWMs and mini haul videos, all available to pre-order on Laneway:

• Benefit Fan Fest Mascara Mini that goes viral for its fuller lash effect and a fanned-out finish that holds up through long days
• MAC .05oz Eyeshadow Singles in swipe-and-go shades that blend fast and show up well in natural or cabin lighting
• Givenchy Prisme Libre Mini N05, the setting powder that softens shine and helps skin look filtered, even without the filter
• Clinique Even Better, a buildable foundation with SPF that’s loved for smoothing skin tone

Pro Tip: Use zip-up pouches to separate liquids, powders and brushes inside your checked or carry-on luggage. Many TikTok creators also pack a structured tote as their travel bag.

Skincare isn’t just about products anymore. It has become part of wellness routines, especially for travellers looking to upgrade their travel experience. From calming mists to multitasking eye creams, your travel essentials list now includes more than a toothbrush and moisturiser.

If you're building a go-to kit for long flights or dry hotel air, these duty free skincare picks on Laneway are getting the most buzz:

• Lano Hyaluronic Lip Oil to add instant hydration and shine without feeling sticky
• Jurlique Moisture Replenishing Kit with bestsellers in one pouch, ideal for first-timers or travel
• Clarins Face Oils that are plant-based and help restore glow and balance during and after flights
• Shiseido Benefiance Eye Cream with a smoothing, firming formula to fight fatigue and fine lines

Pro Tip: Keep these minis in a small bag separate from your main toiletry bag. TikTok creators often use silicone zip bags to avoid leaks and make mid-travel touch-ups easy.

Fragrance has become a full-blown TikTok category, and it’s no longer just about what smells good but what fits the vibe. These duty free fragrance picks on Laneway are getting the most mentions, sprays and swipe-ups:

• Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild for a fresh, floral scent for summer trips
• Tom Ford Black Orchid, a bold and dramatic fragrance often seen in “date night” or “city break” get-ready videos
• Jo Malone London Wood Sage & Sea Salt for that clean, breezy vibe layered into every “coastal aesthetic” post
• Maison Margiela Replica Beach Walk, the warm, beachy go-to that creators pack for holidays and sunny destinations

Pro Tip: Fragrance is personal, so choose one that suits your destination. A beach scent hits differently on the Amalfi Coast than it does in Tokyo.

From luxury drops to limited editions, TikTok travellers are sharing what they’re gifting, tasting, and bringing to their overseas trips. These premium liquor and wines on Laneway are getting the most love on socials right now:

• Hennessy Paradis Cognac Upgrade for its rich, rare blend often seen in luxe gifting videos and celebration edits
• Hibiki Harmony Master’s Select Special Edition, a balanced Japanese whisky that turns up in every “collector’s bar cart” reel
• Johnnie Walker Xordinaire Scotch Whisky, a smooth, new-release single malt that’s popular for its bold flavour and TikTok buzz
• Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rosé Vintage Champagne because of its floral, photogenic bottle made for toasts and gifting hauls
• Levantine Hill Optume Shiraz, a limited Australian red with a sleek label that looks as good as it tastes

Pro Tip: These come in elegant bottles that make perfect gifts. Just pop them in the cooler, and they’re ready to open, share or save for later!

TikTok has made travel prep its own genre. From “What’s in my bag?” clips to in-flight comfort hacks, creators are showing exactly which must-have accessories for travel help them stay sorted, comfortable and connected.

Here are some of the most useful and TikTok-approved duty free travel gear on Laneway worth adding to your bag:

• Korjo Travel Adaptor to use with your iPhone or Kindle USB-C charger, power bank, and other gadgets and keep them powered up. Don’t forget to note how many USB ports you need!
• Korjo Travel Pillow, a compact memory foam neck pillow that pairs perfectly with Korjo’s breathable compression socks for long-haul comfort
• Slip Sleep Masks like a silk eye mask plus hair-friendly silk scrunchies (for the no-headband girlies!), great for naps and skincare touch-ups
• Korjo Audio Splitter to connect your noise-cancelling headphones in-flight, or as a backup if you forgot your Bluetooth earbuds at home or don’t have spare earplugs
• Frank Green Reusable Cups and Water Bottles that are sleek, spill-proof and made to slot into the side pocket of your travel backpack
• Korjo Luggage Safety Extras, including a TSA-friendly lock and an RFID-blocking passport holder if you feel like your luggage tag or AirTag isn’t enough

Pro Tip: Use compression packing cubes in your checked luggage to save space and keep outfits organised. For your personal items, pack a slim money belt or passport wallet.
